Its a collection of tools, all of which talk to an ever increasing
monolithic systemd daemon which now includes init, consolekit, xinetd,
logind, dbusd, and God knows what else in a single program.

Just because the bloat also includes separate programs doesn't
make the systemd daemon magically not be monolithic.
